About this experience

Safari three days and two nights to Kruger and Blyde Canyon

Day three we once again awaken with the call of the animals as they also begin another day. We make our way out of the park, seeking out the various animals not yet spotted with a three hour game drive to Kruger gate. As we leave with perfect memories of the bush and animals we make our way up into the Small Drakensberg mountain range, where the stunning sights of God’s Window, Lisbon Falls, Bourkes Luck Potholes which is the world’s thirds largest and only growing canyon, the Blyde Canyon await us.

Once we have taken the perfect set of photo’s to place in our Brag Book when we return home, we complete a perfect day with a perfect pancake from Harries Pancakes, renowned for their delicious selection of pancakes.
